chapter 27

Aashi was all shattered. imagine a person whom you loved the most is dead...but after years, you get to know that the person is still alive. what kind of a condition you will go through after knowing it? ....such situation was of Aashi. there was a flood of emotions that was running within her, the moment she came to know that Aditya was still alive. Aashi: but Dad...the accident that had happened...Aditya...Aditya had died in it right ? so how....how come... he.....he is still alive? (words were not coming out properly from Aashis mouth as she spoke) Mr Triparty: like as I said earlier, love is the most powerful thing in this world, and when that love happens among two people...it becomes unbeatable. you and Aditya have always been holding that true love for eachother...so how you both could ever get separated? Gods blessings have been upon you both. beta Aashi, today am gonna narrate you the truth that I had kept hidden from the past 4 years. FLASH BACK 2 months had passed since Adityas untimely demise. one fine day Shamlal burst into Mr Tripartys room with a unexpected news. Shamlal: Sir...Sir...Sir...(Shamlal shouted) Mr Triparty: what happened Shamlal...why are you shouting like this? Shamlal: Sir...Aditya...Aditya has come back (Shamlal replied with excitement and happiness) Mr Triparty was all shocked hearing the unexpected reply from Shamlal. Mr Triparty: what rubbish are you talking Shamlal? it's been 2 months since Aditya passed away...and dead people doesn't come back to life. Shamlal: I know that Sir...but I told you whatever I have seen with my own eyes...Mr Triparty: what...what do you mean by that? (Mr Triparty questioned with curosity) Shamlal: Sir...Aditya has come here in the mansion...he is waiting for you in the hall. Shamlals reply shocked Mr Triparty even more...he didn't say a single word and rushed into the hall. as he came in the hall...his eyes couldn't believe what he saw. Aditya was standing alive right infront of his eyes. Mr Triparty: Aditya...your...your alive? (questioned Mr Triparty in shock) Aditya: yes Sir...am...am still alive Mr Triparty: but how is this possible? you had met with an horrible accident...how did you manage to get yourself saved from it? Aditya: I guess it's all about destiny Sir...and most importantly, I think it's Aashis love that kept me alive. (Aditya replied emotionally) Mr Triparty: stop talking nonsense Aditya, and tell me properly how did you end up getting saved (Mr Triparty questioned with a tone of anger) Aditya: After falling into the river, I became unconscious. The water carried me to the other side of the mountains where I was found by a tribe living in the forest. They rescued me and nursed me back to health using their natural remedies. I was weak and my senses were not working properly due to a severe head injury. It took me almost two months to fully recover, but once I did, I knew that I had to come back and let that one person know that I was still alive. I couldn't bear the thought of Aashi thinking I was gone forever. I thanked the tribe for whatever they had done for me and I returned back here immidiately. Mr Triparty: hmmmm....well we'll well... am really happy for you Aditya...but sadly I won't allow you to meet Aashi. Aditya: please Sir...don't do this again. me and Aashi have remained enough far from eachother...but now, not anymore...please Sir allow us to become one now . (Aditya requested being emotional) Mr Triparty: Aashi is not here anymore Aditya....she has shifted to London. Aditya was surprised hearing Mr Tripartys reply Aditya: London, but why ??? Mr Triparty: after presuming that you are dead....Aashi was all broken up. she was totally shattered. she blamed me for your death and hence she decided to live me and this town forever. Aditya: so what did you gain by doing all this Sir? atlast you ended up loosing your own daughter...Mr Triparty: it's a matter of short time Aditya....am sure, it will take time... but some or the other day I will surely win my daughters trust back...and with time...she will also forget you ...n later...I'll marry her to a person who matches her status. Aditya: what your doing is totally wrong Sir...Aashi has the right to know that am alive....I'll contact her and I'll make her aware about the fact that am still alive....Mr Triparty: if you try to contact her back, than remember one thing Aditya...I will snatch away the thing from her life which she loves the most rather than you. Aditya: what....what are you talking about Sir? (Aditya asked with tension and curosity) Mr Triparty: the institute of Aashi. I'll take it away from her. if you try to contact her back ....than I'll snatch away the dream of her helping the people. I'll put an end to her institute. I'll shut it down forever. Aditya: no, you can't do this...that institute belongs to Aashi...you can't shut it down just like that. Mr Triparty: HAHAHA....I can do whatever I want Aditya. don't you forget that it was me who helped Aashi in building up that institute...the money that has gone in building that institute belongs to me. if am capable of building something...than am even capable of breaking it aswell. Aditya: helping the people in need through her institute is Aashis life Sir.....that institute means everything to her ...how can you think of snatching it from her? Mr Triparty: well...this will be the test of your love towards Aashi. you claim to love her a lot right? so let's test your love for her. you know very well that the institute means the world to her right? so if you don't want me to stop that institute than you need to go away from her life forever. Aashis happiness belongs in that institute...and if you want her to be happy than you need to sacrifice your love for her. as long as you stay far from her....I won't take away that institute from her. but the moment you try to get in contact with her ...I'll shut down that institute right away...and me being a rich personality...you are aware of the fact that it won't be much of a difficult task for me to close that institute by putting false claims upon it. so Mr Aditya...do you hold enough love for Aashi that you are capable of staying far from her for the sake of her happiness? (replied Mr Triparty with a devilish smile) Aditya was taken aback seeing at what extent Mr Triparty can go through. Aditya: am shocked seeing such a evil face of yours. your not a father, but your a monster. how can you think something like this for your own daughter? anyways, if staying far from Aashi is the key to her happiness...than yes...am ready...am ready to make this sacrifice. I won't contact her back ever in my life....according to her, am dead. so let her spend rest of her life thinking that am dead. (replied Aditya holding tears in his eyes, and pain in heart) Aditya had started to walk out from the mansion...but Mr Triparty stopped him by calling out his name. Mr Triparty: ADITYA! hearing Mr Tripartys call...Aditya turned back towards him. Mr Triparty: do you see now what the power of money is capable of? I hope now you have finally understood the level of your status. Aditya: you might have successfully ended up keeping me away from Aashi....but what about our hearts? will you ever be able to stop them beating for eachother? just remember one thing Sir....Aashi and me have loved eachother truly from heart. our love is not just physical, it's a connection of two hearts and two souls. and the relationship that happens among two hearts and two souls, they are for eternity. no matter how far apart we may be, our love will only grow stronger with time, and one day that love will increase at such extent, that you will realise that what you have done is wrong...and you yourself will end up in bringing me and Aashi together....just remember this. (Aditya replies in a calm way and walks out from there) FLASH BACK ENDS Mr Triparty: and Aditya was so right. finally today, I will become the bridge that will connect you back to Aditya. you might feel that the biggest reason for me to call you back from london might be a fathers urge to see his daughter, but no. my biggest reason to call you back from london was Aditya...i wanted to make you aware of the fact that he is still alive. I have done a lot of terrible things in my life Aashi... for which, I don't even deserve forgiveness, and neither I expect any. but before I die...the one good thing that I want to do is bringing you and Aditya back together. Aashi, who was listening to Mr Triparty all this time holding tears in her eyes, finally spoke. Aaahi: currently where is he dad? where is my Aditya? to be continued in the next chapter.....
